HI, just a very simple question since I could not find a clear answer on the wiki or somewhere else. Is there any guide to porting software (once u have the source code) on the OP? I am familiar with compilation on Linux.
All told, you can do a 'standard linux' port pretty easily; the work is in pandorification -- altering screen sizes of games, changing controls of games, making use of touchscreen, that sort of thing. Porting most desktop style applications is a cakewalk.. no work, or minor work in adjusting path assumptions or dialog box sizes.. ie: If the app sssumes writing to ~ or $HOME or the like, you'dhave to correct that to write to an SD of the users choice, but even if you don't.. it'll work, just writing to $HOME on NAND which is suboptimal.
Usually if you have your enviroment ready to work you can't remember what and how you did it. The best way is to write it down at the moment of doing. So it's your turn now. You're in best position to do this.Is there anyone willing to publish an example from A to Z of how they do it ?

My personal suggestion is to hop over to the IRC channel and ask aTc about it... if that doesn't get the silly notion out of your head... then you're good to go.

yeah, aTc brought my blood pressure through the roof the first time I logged into the Pandora IRC channel.. I asked a simple question about gcc optimization and he went on a rant that we didn't need any more crappy porters and such.. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I decided that was the first and last time using the Pandora IRC channel.
But I continued on with it.. released a couple of games to the repo. the Development section of this forum is a good place to ask questions and get a civilized response.
People who have knowledge, but who cant inspire other people using it, are poor teachers.. and this a is real waste..
By the way, are you based in Korea, Commander-Beef?
You can have civilized response on IRC, even from aTcyeah, aTc brought my blood pressure through the roof the first time I logged into the Pandora IRC channel..
